How to Make Steamed Chicken And Coconut Shumai Dim Sum

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground chicken, 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1/2 cup shredded carrot, 2 finely chopped Thai chilies (or to taste), 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 2 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp lime juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 large egg, 2 finely chopped shallots, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Gently mix the chicken mixture with your hands until thoroughly combined.
  3. Lay out a wonton wrapper in the palm of your hand. Keep the remaining wrappers covered with plastic wrap to prevent drying.
  4. Place a rounded tablespoon of the chicken filling in the center of the wrapper.
  5. Gently pinch the edges of the wrapper all around to form a cup shape, leaving about 1 inch open at the top.
  6. Place the formed shumai on a plate and cover with plastic wrap to prevent drying.
  7. Repeat steps 3-6 with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
  8. Fill a wok or large skillet with 2 inches of water and bring to a rolling boil.
  9. Line a double-tiered bamboo steamer with lettuce leaves. Arrange the shumai in the steamer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  10. Cover and steam over medium heat for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  11. If you have more shumai, repeat steps 9 and 10.
  12. Serve immediately with your favorite chili sauce.
